My computer got to the point where it would not even boot. I did not have anything vital on it, so I reformatted the device and reinstalled the OS, Windows XP Pro SP2. That did not clear it up. I then cleared the cmos, just in case the problem was there. that didnt do it either.
My computer gets to the XP loading page , the bar scrolls a couple times, then the screen shuts down, and the HD winds down. It will start up, if I start it from the OS CD. Another odd thing it does is replace letters. In BIOS and in any DOS like lettering the computer uses, random words are mispelled. for example, exit will be spelled eqit.
My motherboard is a GeForce 6100-m9 with an athelon processor and a nvidia 8600 series graphics card. its a setup Ive had for some time with no problem. I did have a trojan a while back, but Im suprised it would survive a reformat.
Thank you for any help. Ive tried everything I can think of
